Team Form and Analysis:
Stade Rennais enters this match in a mixed run of form, with four points from their first three league matches. The hosts earned a commendable 1-0 home victory over Marseille but have since suffered a heavy 4-0 away defeat to Lorient and a 1-1 draw with Angers. Under manager Habib Bèye, Rennes has shown defensive vulnerabilities, conceding five goals in three games. However, they have a strong home record and will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage and get their season back on track.
Lyon, meanwhile, has had a sensational start to the new campaign, with a perfect record of three wins from three matches. The visitors have been incredibly dominant, scoring five goals while conceding none. Their most recent victory was a hard-fought 1-0 win over Marseille, a result that highlights their defensive solidity. Under manager Paulo Fonseca, Lyon has shown a cohesive and well-organized style of play. They will be eager to continue their perfect start and climb to the top of the table.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is evenly matched, with Lyon holding a slight edge in total wins. However, recent encounters have been balanced. Lyon has won three of the last six meetings, while Rennes has won two. Their last encounter at Roazhon Park in the previous Bundesliga season ended in a 3-0 victory for the home side.
Player to Watch:
Stade Rennais: All eyes will be on their key attacking players, particularly Esteban Lepaul, who has been in good form and will be looked upon to provide a much-needed attacking spark for the home side.
Lyon: The focus for Lyon will be on their in-form midfielder Corentin Tolisso, who has been a consistent goal threat and a focal point of the attack.
Prediction:
Given Lyon’s perfect form, their excellent defensive record, and their strong away performance, they are the clear favorites to win this match. However, Rennes will have the home advantage and the motivation to get their season back on track. A narrow away victory for Lyon seems like a very plausible outcome, but a hard-fought draw would not be a surprise.
